Just nine minutes into the first half, Manchester City had a penalty in their favor. Doku made a good play down the left wing, entered the area, and was brought down by goalkeeper Mamardashvili. After a VAR review, referee Chris Kavanagh awarded the penalty to the home team. On the kick, the Georgian goalkeeper redeemed himself by saving the shot from the striker Haaland, who struck hard to the right corner.

At 28 minutes, it was Haaland's turn to bounce back. The number nine opened the scoring after a cross from Matheus Nunes, rising higher than the Reds' defense to head into the left corner of the goalkeeper.

The visitors managed to equalize with Van Dijk from a corner kick, but Robertson, who was offside, interfered with the goalkeeper's view, and the play was disallowed.

The referee added seven minutes of stoppage time in the first half, and at 47 minutes, Nico González took a shot from outside the area, with a deflection off Van Dijk, to extend Manchester City's lead.

The home team continued to press in the second half. At 17 minutes, Doku received the ball on the left, cut through the defense, and from outside the area, struck a beautiful shot to score the third for the Citizens, sealing the final score of the match.
